Avoiding Damage to the Appliance and the Cabinet

Oven

Remove fruit acids such as the juice of lemons or plums etc. after every baking operation. The acid can cause spots on the oven's enamel.

Never splash water into a hot oven. This could damage the enamel.

Do not place the baking tray directly onto the bottom of the oven. Do not place utensils (for example a roaster) directly onto the bottom of the oven. Do not line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil. This will cause a build-up of heat which can damage the enamel.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the oven.

Do not take off the door seal. A damaged door seal must be changed immediately.

The socket for the separate heating element for the roaster and the baking stone (special accessory) can be found in the middle of the back panel at the bottom. During normal operation, please leave the cover in the socket.

Cabinet Fronts near the Oven

After taking the food out of the oven, allow the oven to cool down with the door closed. Do not leave the oven door half open, the hot air can cause damage to adjacent cabinets. The cooling fan will continue to run for a while and will then switch off automatically.

Baking

What to do if... The solution

...a cake baked in a tray is too light at the bottom? Insert the tray on a lower level and remove all other trays from the oven.
...a cake baked in a form is too light at the bottom? Do not insert the baking form in the oven on the tray, but on the wire rack.
...a cake/small cakes and pastries are too dark Insert the cake/pastries at a higher level.at the bottom?
...a cake is too dry? Set the oven temperature to a slightly higher value.Preheat the oven.
...a cake is too moist on the inside or if meat is Set the baking or roasting temperature to a slightly not cooked on the inside? lower value. Important: baking or roasting times cannotbe shortened by selecting higher temperatures. It is better to choose a slightly longer baking or roasting time and to allow the dough to bake longer.
...a cake baked with hot air in a form or a Do not place the baking form directly in front of the rear rectangular form is too dark at the back? wall of the oven, but in the middle.
...a cake sinks? Use less fluid the next time or set the oven temperatureto a value that is lower by 10 degrees. Pay attention to the stirring times specified in the recipe. Do not open the oven door too soon.
...a cake has risen in the middle and is lower Do not grease the edge of the spring form. After at the edges? baking, carefully loosen the cake with a knife.
...a cake is too dark at the top? Insert it on a lower level, select a lower temperatureand bake the cake for a slightly longer time.
...a cake is too dark at the bottom? Insert it at a higher level and choose a lower temperature the next time.
...a fruit cake is too light at the bottom and Use the deeper grilling tray for baking.the fruit juices spill over?
...a cake is too dry at the bottom?Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished cake. Then sprinkle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. The next time, choose a temperature that is higher by 10 degrees and shorten the baking time.
...bread or a cake looks good from the outside,but is too moist on the inside?The next time, use slightly less fluid and bake slightly longer at a lower temperature. In the case of cakes with a moist covering, first bake the base, sprinkle almonds or breadcrumbs over it and then add the covering.Pay attention to recipes and baking times.
...you have baked on several levels and your cake on the top tray is darker thanon the bottom one?If you select a slightly lower temperature, your cakes and pastries will be browned more evenly. Trays inserted at the same time need not be ready at the same time. Allow the bottom trays to bake for 5-10 minutes longer and insert them at an appropriately earlier time.
...biscuits stick to the tray?Briefly reinsert the tray in the oven and remove the biscuits immediately.
...a cake does not come out of the tin easily?Carefully loosen the edge with a knife. Turn out the cake again and cover the form several times with a cold wet cloth. The next time, grease the form well and additionally sprinkle breadcrumbs into it.

Further Tips for Baking

You are advised to use dark metal baking forms. You may also use light baking forms in the hot air mode. In this case, the baking time is longer.

The values in the cooking tables apply to the preheated oven. The temperature and duration depend on the quantity and consistency of the dough. This is why the tables list temperature ranges. You are advised to begin with the lowest temperature the first time. If required, set it higher the next time. A lower temperature ensures more even browning.

To find out if your cake has baked properly, insert a wooden stick at the highest point of the cake after expiry of the baking time specified in the recipe. The cake is ready if dough no longer sticks to the wood.

Rising Dough (Fermenting)

Use the fermenting mode. Set the temperature to 38^ C.

For large amounts of dough (for example bread) set the temperature between 38-40 °C. The dough will rise evenly from the middle to the edge.

For small pieces of dough (for example bread rolls) set the temperature between 40-45 °C.

Tips for Roasting and Grilling

You can use any heat-resistant dishes. Place dishes in the middle of the wire rack. You can also use the grilling tray for large roasts.

After removing glass dishes, place them on a dry kitchen cloth or cooling grill. Do not place them on a cold or wet support surface. The glass could crack.

Before serving, allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes with the oven switched off and closed. This keeps the roast juicy.

Always grill in the closed oven. If possible, grilled pieces should be equally thick, at least 2 to 3 cm. When this is the case, they will brown evenly and will stay nice and juicy. Never grill steaks salted! Place pieces for grilling directly on the wire rack.

Poultry becomes particularly crispy brown if you coat it with butter, salt water, dripped-off fat or orange juice.

For roasting use the wire rack that fits the grilling tray (accessory or special accessory, depending on the version). Put a small amount of water into the grilling tray. This ensures that the juices of the meat are collected and the oven stays clean.

In the case of duck or goose, pierce the skin under the wings to allow the fat to drain off.

What to do, if...

... a roast has become dark and parts of the crust are burnt? Check the insertion height and the temperature.

... a roast looks good, but the sauce is burnt? The next time, choose a smaller roasting dish and add more fluid.

... a roast looks good, but the sauce is too light and has become watery? The next time, choose a larger roasting dish and use less fluid.

... the table does not list a weight for the roast? Choose the next lowest weight in the list and prolong the roasting time.

Defrosting

Use the defrosting mode. Set the temperature between 40-60 °C.

Insert the wire rack with the frozen food on the second level. Insert the grilling tray below to collect the liquid. Important: pour away the defrosting liquid.

Defrost large pieces of meat (roasts, chicken, etc.) between 45-50 °C, otherwise the outer part may start to brown.

You can defrost small or flat pieces between 50-55 °C.

Safety Notes

⚠ Warning! Do not clean the hob using high pressure cleaners or steam jets.
⚠ Warning, risk of burns! Before cleaning, wait until the appliance has cooled down.

Cleaning the Oven Interior

Clean the oven with a cloth/sponge and a small amount of hot soapy water. Avoid residues burning in. After cleaning, leave the door open until the oven has dried.

Do not scrape off baked-in remainders of food. Instead, moisten them with a wet cloth and detergent.

Fruit juices from moist cakes dripping onto the oven interior can damage the enamel. Remove such soiling as soon as the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Do not use non-suitable cleaning agents:

  • scouring cleaning agents
  • nitro polishing agents
  • cleaners containing chloride
  • abrasive sponges or objects

Note: Only use oven cleaner on the enamel in the oven interior. Do not let the oven cleaner come into contact with the door seal. Do not spray oven cleaner onto the door frame.

Cleaning the Glass Front

Clean the glass front with a soft cloth and glass cleaner. Do not wipe the glass front with a soaking wet cloth as water might enter behind the glass.

Do not use aggressive, scouring cleaning agents or glass scrapers. They can scratch the surface and destroy the glass.

Only clean the display with a soft cloth. Do not wipe the display with a soaking wet cloth as water might enter behind the screen.

Cleaning the Door Seal

Always keep the door seal clean and free of food remains.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. oven cleaner) on the door seal. They can destroy the door seal.

Do not remove the door seal.

Cleaning the Accessories

Clean accessories (baking tray, wire grill and grill pan) with hot soapy liquid.

Soak baked-in remainders and clean with a brush.

Cleaning the Baking Stone

(special accessory)

Remove coarse soiling from the baking stone. Turn the baking stone round before using it again. This will burn off most residues from the bottom side.

Note: Do not clean the baking stone with water and detergents! Moisture inside the baking stone can cause cracking.

Catalytic Cleaning

The rear and top interior parts of the oven are coated with catalytic special enamel. The high temperatures during catalytic cleaning remove soiling.

The bottom and side interior parts, the inside of the door and the glass panel are not cleaned during catalytic cleaning.

The duration of the catalytic cleaning is 3 hours.

Before Starting Catalytic Cleaning

  • Remove coarse soiling and food remains from the oven.
  • Manually clean the bottom and side interior parts, the door seal, the inside of the door and the glass panel. The catalysis does not clean these parts.
  • Remove all loose interior parts (for example wire rack or meat probe) from the oven. No objects should be left in the oven!
  • Close the oven door.
